The purpose of the AIHF is to identify and honor individuals with strong ties to the state of Ƶ who have made significant contributions to advance the role of insurance in society. Individuals will be chosen from all segments of the property/casualty insurance, life insurance, health insurance, risk management, and financial services industries, including agents, company employees, insurance regulators, and entrepreneurs who created companies and agencies.
UCA, the only university in Ƶ with an undergraduate degree program in insurance and risk management, was chosen as the host and beneficiary of the AIHF.
